Color Me So Crazy

**review sample** Today I have a really great summer product from BA Star. It is the Tropical Palette. I was lucky enough to be able to review yet another product from BA Star. As you may recall, I showed you the Midnight Smokey Palette earlier this summer.  I really like BA Star eye makeup because of it's staying power. The colors are vibrant and rich in pigment. That, mixed with the primer makes a great formula for all day staying power.  I mentioned this in my last review, but these were made with such great staying power that this eye makeup is used for dancers and cheerleaders. It is intended to last through sweat and time.  As you can see in the picture above, the colors really pop. My skin is pretty dark right now. I am usually pretty pale, so this is pale skin tanned and the colors don't overtake my tone.  These are the colors swatched with a flash to show you them in a little different lighting set up. I really liked th...

**Press Sample** Sally Hansen Color Foils are brand new to the Sally Hansen family. I get to show you two of them today. I really like metallic finishes for when I need some extra pizzazz. I think metallics add a very futuristic look to any nail design. First up, I have Cobalt Chrome . It is a blue metallic polish. As with all metallic polishes I have come across, this needs to be handled with care. First, you need to shake your bottle- well roll it. You should always give your polishes a good mix before you use them, but these need a little extra. Also, I learned that these apply the nicest without a base coat. I do not like to put any polish on my nails without a base coat, but if you want a more even application, you need to with these. The only thing I put underneath these are my protein treatment. You have to let it dry COMPLETELY before you put the polish on. The next color I have is a silver chrome called Sterling Silver . This is a almost perfect dupe...

 All I can say is MELISSA... Holy Crap! I knew it!! I knew she was shady the whole time. I still think Ali is involved with the shade, but Melissa. Wow!! This episode is titled "No One Here Can Love or Understand Me?". Back to Melissa. I hope that we get more information about Melissa and I hope that she comes clean. I doubt it. That's why it's called Pretty Little Liars.  I hope that Hannah and Caleb are also done. Caleb is starting to be a really bad influence on Hannah and now that Hannah is getting on the straight and narrow, I hope that Caleb is getting that way as well. Although, it does not look like it. According to the teasers, Caleb is finally going to spill why he's been hitting the bottle so hard and it has to do with Ravenswood.  Also, I am kind of pumped that Ezra is back in the picture. I kind of lost all trust for him after all his shennanigans, but I am hoping that I can earn it back. Apparently Aria isn't working with Ezra...
